I'm so uncomfortable :(

[smiley_one]

I'm 40 weeks and 2 days and I know she will be here any day now, but I am uncomfortable. The worse pain I have felt this entire pregnancy. I am no longer having those cramps or sharp pains anymore, but I just feel miserable. I can't even begin to describe it :( I can't catch my breath at times, I constantly feel like food is slowly coming up my throat, not throw up, but pieces of food but luckily nothing has came up. My stomach is constantly turning and feels sick. Any advice?

go get your pressure points done :) that should send you on your way :) you have to eat a truck load of pineapple for that to work, I still say the pressure points in your feet will do the trick :)

That's what I'm hoping for :) A little Mother's day baby :)

Whoa- I  meant BIG* and FROM*

Me and my husband walked alot, butttt I was so bit and uncomfortable I couldnt get very from the house. Not to mention, the constant need to pee. I also ate pineapples, but didnt help and I crossed railroad tracks on a daily basis and needless to say- it didnt work! Babies come whentheyre ready regardless. And you never know, Sunday just might be the day. Thatd be the besst Mommy days present to a new mom!

I tried sex recently, but it was so painful so I didn't want to chance anything. I've been walking, but nothing really seems to happen. I googled a few things (natural things, nothing like castor oil or anything dangerous like that) and have a few other things to try, like pineapples, driving down a bumpy road (but knowing my fiance he would go too fast and I'd hurt myself). Hopefully she comes soon :) Maybe she is waiting for sunday :)

[PrettyyMom]

Hahahah. Well, whatever helps! Do some walking, it can help with labor. Having sex and getting an orgasm (or two) can release the same things that trigger contractions.

I'm on a constant cleaning spree and organizing all the baby stuff. I was coloring to pass the time, but I am running out of pages in my coloring book so I stopped, but I think I'm about to start coloring again lol

Also, to help with your breathing, if you havent already figured it out- try to not sleep on your back. It was impossible for me to sleep on my back as it was, but sleepin on my side helped with my breathing because I also had trouble breathing.

My first one was ALL natural and it was a nightmare- for me. I dont want to scare you, but I def got the juice with my others! Hahah. Good luck, its def not for me. Have you started nesting yet? I like to bake alot, thanks to my Nana :) but I baked my husband lots of cakes and cookies and stuff to help pass my time. Im a clean freak too, so I was always busy and with having two other kids, my time needless to say went by rather fast!

[smiley_one]

Thanks :) I think I might start coloring again and hope that passes the time lol. I want to try to it all natural. I don't want the epidural or anything. I have to get antibiotics though because I tested positive for Group B strep. But besides that I want to be natural.

[PrettyyMom]

Well, whether you do make it to Monday or not, she's worth the wait! Congrats and hope all goes well. Inducing isnt so bad, had all of mine induced! Im hopin that my next one, maybe, I can do naturally and experience without being induced.

[smiley_one]

I'm 40 weeks and 2 days today and the doctor said if I make it to my appointment on monday we will talk about our "options" which I assume meant talking about inducing.

[PrettyyMom]

Dont worry. your babys just fine. Shes as big and healthy as shes gonna get. Have you passed your due date or anything? I never, in any of my pregnancies, made it to 40 weeks- my doctor induced. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but in the end, its def no walk in the park!

[smiley_one]

I know what you mean by your stomach feeling full. I can barely eat and I feel like I'm not getting enough nutrients in my body to help the baby. I hope she comes soon. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday if she doesn't come before then.

[PrettyyMom]

The only thing I can tell you is to not eat alot at one time, theres not going to be anything you can really do- you just dont have room in your belly anymore.. My last pregnancy I couldnt eat but two or three bites of food because I would feel so full so fast. The thing is, when your pregnant, your stomach doesnt have room to expand like it does while not being pregnant. Hope your bby comes soon!:) Good luck.
